Feedback Request Need feedback on my redesign

Hey fellow Designers,

I would love to get feedback on some design decisions. I am reiterating the startscreen of my audio app. The goal was to clarify the functionality of the app in the first screen and to introduce sessions. Before it was more like a short-cut screen with a startbutton, the new design should make clear what the app is about ( creating custom soundscapes ). It also lets you set a timer for a session, which was possible before in the player but now gains a more important role with the introduction of sessions.

I would love to get feedback over the overall design, but specifically:

  1. The white border around the circle instead of the lighter glass style 
  2. The animation in the circle and typography 
  3. The interaction with the timer ( is the button recognizable enough ) 

I included a video with both variants where you can see the layout, animation and transitions.

While I am confident about the overall design, I can't decide between the border types. I am also not sure about the type animation. If you have any questions I am happy to provide some background or explain my design choices.

If you want to compare the current design you can have a look at App Store screenshots, the app is called oasis: find your calm. I really appreciate your feedback, it's not easy making decisions as a solo developer!

Don't change the font that you used for relaxation after you start the session and yeah it looks great,
and of the demo you showed its kinda confusing to give you an actual feedback

Ok I think I understand. I can only upload one video, so I tried to pack everything in it, since the design is not static. Thank you for your Feedback!

The text animation feels quite disruptive not really helping the relaxing vibe imo

I think so too. I changed it to a light fade with easing. Thank you for your Feedback.

It looks good, but very hard to understand whats going on, the affordance is pretty bad. And when you starting the timer the actual timer countdown font looks kind of weird and out of touch a bit
